In Yemen, Hospitals Overwhelmed, ICRC Warns

In Yemen, hostilities resumed in July between the Houthis, pro-Iranian fighters, and the government forces supported by Saudi Arabia. The Red Cross warned that hospitals across the country are overwhelmed, facing an unprecedented surge in war injuries and critical shortages of medical supplies. The strain on the healthcare system reduces its ability to treat other illnesses, and access to humanitarian aid is hindered, especially in Taëz, where over 18 million people face food insecurity.
